AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing painting facilities for vehicle bodies require additional intermediate drying and clear coat drying stations for decorative coat application, leading to increased floor space, complex control processes, and higher energy consumption.

Method used

The integration of an Overspray-free Coating (OFLA) station for decorative coat application into the topcoat process, utilizing existing unused space between filter devices, allows for transportation of the workpiece between processing planes without the need for additional drying stations.

Benefits of technology

This configuration enables compact and efficient process integration of decorative coat application, reducing the need for additional drying stations, saving equipment space and energy, and simplifying control processes.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a processing facility (100) for processing a workpiece, specifically for coating a vehicle body, wherein the processing facility (100) has the following: namely - a plurality of processing planes (104, 106) arranged at different height levels, specifically arranged one above the other in an overlapping state; and / or - one or more than two processing lines (110) arranged specifically parallel to each other, having a plurality of processing areas (112, 114), the processing areas being arranged on one or more than two processing planes (104, 106), having processing lines, each processing area (112, 114) having one or more than two processing stations (118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 136, 138, 140) for carrying out one or more than two processing steps, and each processing line (110) having one or at least two moving and conveying devices (142, 144, 152, 154), by means of which the workpiece can be moved between the processing areas (112, 114). The present invention further relates to a method for processing a workpiece, specifically for coating a vehicle body, the method comprising the following: namely, - processing the workpiece in a plurality of processing areas (112, 114) of a processing line (110), specifically a primary processing area and a secondary processing area (112, 114), each of the plurality of processing areas having one or more than two processing stations (118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 136, 138, 140) for carrying out one or more than two processing steps respectively.
